Canada’s Healthcare System (Revisited)

Posted by cware on February 28, 2006

Yay!

I’m finally out of that hell-hole they call a hospital. I had been stuck in there waiting for surgery since last wednesday, and I was getting a little tired of having a needle stuck into one of my veins for an eternity.

Because of the multitude of injuries sustained by very prudent Canadian citizens whilst skating on hard ice in -30 degree celcius weather, without any proper protection may I say, the hospitals were full of whining “adults” complaining about how much their muscles hurt, and how much their ears hurt from being outside in very cold weather for extended periods of time. There are also those people who have legitimate injuries, however stupid they may be. Like a broken knee for example. Now there are a few simple solutions to getting rid of these problems;
1. Kill all of these people,
2. Warn them that maybe they should dress for the weather,
3. Extradite them, or,
4. Make them sit in a hospital for six days at a time for a half hour procedure.

Yeah, so this is about my third attempt to review Civilisation IV, I’ve actually had the game for ages, it’s just been difficult for me to commit my thoughts to paper. Erm, E-paper. Yes.

Twenty Years of Nintendo

Posted by cware on February 26, 2006

It seems weird that In February of 1986 the NES was released in the USA… and in typical Chimpware fashion, we’re to lazy to do a tribute ourselves, so we’ve got another site to do it for us. Although normally I would warn people to stray away from Gamespot’s so-called ‘features’, this one is really quite good. Really. So have a look.

The Thought Police…Everybody Run!

Posted by cware on February 21, 2006

David John Cadwell Irving was imprisoned on the 20th of February in Austria for 3 years following his return to the country after he was exiled from Austria for denying the holocaust’s existance. He was an out-spoken denier of the events for many years since his early publications in the late 60’s such as ‘Apocalypse 1945.’ It is also claimed by other respected holocaust historians that he is an active anti-Semite and a racist. So what do our readers think? Was this imprisonment justified? Whilst denying the holocaust’s existance may be an absurd thing to do both factually and for the insult to it’s victim’s relatives, is it right to imprison somebody simply for what they believe?
